People Search

Spock - a people search engine - is now available in beta. The site is (very) slow, but some of the results are interesting. Looks like Spock uses a variety of social networking sites to collect information...so if you're active online, don't be surprised to see your b-day and age listed, sites you're involved with, etc. But, I must confess, I don't think I'll use it. In order to find the person you're looking for, you need to already know about the person - i.e. the numerous returns with different names requires that I sort of know the person's age, location, and so on. I'd find more information about a person using Google than Spock. But, perhaps as Spock improves, it will become more useful.
